Question

[mak]

Gary (or someone who knows),
I have a bot which refresh everyday at morning the quick pick list, but some days there is no activity at all (the list is blank), so the particular bot won't do anything.

Is this Bot "consuming" a lot of memory, or computers cpu? Is it ok, just to be open and running 24/7?

I have done a lot of work to make sure it does not consume a lot of resources. It won't be the reason why the list is blank. I noticed recently that some markets can be missing in the data received from Betfair so I suspect this is the issue. This happens randomly. I will try to address this problem in the next few releases.

thanks.The market i was thinking about is irish horse market, or greyhounds televised card where there is no activity at all for some days.Just wanted to know if i leave some bots to run on my vacation (2 weeks ) if i had any problems, which i am not if i understand correct. (?)

I thought you had encountered the problem I described. The markets actually being absent is a different thing. In theory you shouldn't have any problems leaving it running for two weeks. I've designed it to allow this, however if you do find it causes problems then let me know.

Ok, i have at least one month to test it..
